Brief: CAHS Class of 1983 Hosts Student Health & Wellness Screening

The Charlotte Amalie High School Class of 1983 is giving back in a hands-on way, recently hosting a Health & Wellness Awareness Screening designed to support student well-being and promote healthier choices.

Organized through the groupโ€™s Outreach Committee, the event at the end of last month brought resources and information directly to campus, creating space for students to engage with topics that have real impact beyond the classroom. The initiative placed a particular focus on prevention and awareness, including issues like diabetes, with the goal of helping students better understand how everyday decisions can shape their long-term health.

โ€œWeโ€™re aiming to give back to our alma mater and support our studentsโ€™ well-being,โ€ Felecia R. Maduro, Outreach Committee chair, said in a recent release. โ€œOur goal is to ensure that young people have access to information that will help them lead healthier lives.โ€

For organizers, the effort is part of a broader commitment by the Class of โ€™83 to remain actively engaged with the school community โ€” not just through reunion milestones, but through initiatives that offer practical support and relevant information. By bringing these conversations directly to students, the group is helping to reinforce the importance of awareness, prevention, and informed decision-making at an early age.

The screening also reflects a growing recognition that schools play an important role in connecting students with resources that support both academic and personal well-being. For the Class of 1983, itโ€™s a way to stay connected while contributing to something that has a lasting impact, Maduro said.
